And Israel departed, he and all that he had, and came to the well of the oath; and he offered sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac.

And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?
3 Mwari akati, “Ndini Mwari, iye Mwari wababa vako. Usatya kuenda kuIjipiti, nokuti ndichakuita rudzi rukuru ikoko.
And he says to him, I am the God of your fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make you there a great nation.
4 Ndichaburuka kuIjipiti pamwe chete newe, uye zvirokwazvo ndichakudzosazve. Uye ruoko rwaJosefa chairwo ndirwo ruchazarira meso ako.”
And I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will bring you up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on your eyes.
